Actually, if you're running Native IOS on your 6500s (which many HUGE corporations are now doing because of how redundancy is handled and besides it's like having a 280+port router =), then there is really a minimal differents in the 6500 and 3550 commands. They're both IOS, so no diff......
As far as Content Switching Module..... I gotta say..... who cares? Knowing L2/L3 switching is the most important in setting up a network and in the lab.... not "Layer 7" switching...... (although it does appear that Content Networking is covered as part of the CCIE Communications & Services) Not trying to dog you out or anything, but I think the 3550 will make an excellent low-cost replacement for 5000s in the CCIE lab (instead of the extra cost of throwing in a 6509 or something... that's a bit overkill for a lab rack). And a 3550 will FINALLY force people to start using IOS commands for L2 switching configuration and hopefully CatOS will completely die as a result of this change in the lab.
